Subject: Re: 18 USC 241 Intent
BHM: Trumps popularity jumps with each new outrageous indictment. Like Trump claims, he only needs 'one more indictment' to win 2024 election.

Not so, take a look at 538, his unfavorability has increased. See 538 at link. Perhaps you meant nomination and not election? But you'll most likely read a blurb that only the independents are affected, there is very little change among the faithful. If there is a reckoning, it is not apparent. But that we get convictions is important for someone like me.
I want to see Trump convicted for his blatant criminality toward our voting system. I've questioned our voting system for some time. Is it rigged? Yes. One man, one vote is meaningless after viewing how the electoral college system works, but I could live with that. We rigged that system in the big states vs small states, and heavy population vs sparsely populated rural controversy in order to became a nation. Not to mention the 3/5 compromise for our aristocrat wannabes. But beyond that we have gerrymandering and voter suppression techniques that are constantly evolving to out maneuver the new legislative threats. So yes, both sides have gerrymandered, but Republicans have taken gerrymandering to dizzying heights, and Republicans have made voter suppression into an art form. A while back one of the Republican voter suppression researchers computers was opened by his wife after he died, and I was chilly impressed with the work he had done.
Why does the country look like it's going to hell now that I'm an old man? :)
